Bats, Bats, Bats!

This month’s Theme Of The Month in PLoS ONE are bats! Midway between the release of Batman II and Halloween, this sounds like an appropriate choice. Peter Binfield provides more information.
A number of our bat papers have received media and blog coverage (and not just by Anne-Marie!), but it is never too late. Bloggers tend to write about the newest papers, fresh off the presses. But nothing stops you from going back and covering one of the older papers if you find it interesting. Perhaps you were just not aware of it before.
Here are some of our bat papers to date, showcasing the diversity and quality of chiropteran research in PLoS ONE:
Accelerated FoxP2 Evolution in Echolocating Bats
Echolocating Bats Cry Out Loud to Detect Their Prey

As always, you should rate the articles, post notes and comments and send trackbacks when you blog about the papers.
And if you work on bats, send your manuscripts to PLoS ONE. It is becoming quite a hub for bat papers and the people around them.
